Definitions
- the present invention relates to mounting systems for televisions and monitors, and in particular to mounting systems for an array of televisions and monitors.
- mounts can be difficult and cumbersome to assemble. These mounts sometimes do not offer adjustibilty to account for external factors such as walls that are not entirely flat, leading to an unattractive installation. Also, the mounts are not easily scalable, so that different models must be offered depending on the size of the array of electronic displays desired.
- the present invention provides a mounting solution for arrays of electronic display devices that addresses the drawbacks of prior mounts.
- scalably sized modular mounting frames can be easily assembled and linked together to form a mounting system that can accommodate multiple vertically and horizontally adjacent electronic displays.
- the system can have adjustable mounting legs enabling correction for walls, to which the system will be mounted, that are not entirely flat and also enabling positioning of the overall system within a range of adjustment closer or further away from the wall.
- the modular configuration of the mounting system can provide for vertical attachment of multiple electronic displays to a single module, and for vertical and horizontal attachment of multiple modules.
- the disclosed modular system enables multiple displays to be mounted in a virtually unlimited number of shapes as well as the standard square and rectangular arrays.
- Elongated attachment slots enable an electronic display to be moved laterally while adjacent electronic displays are being installed so that the electronic displays do not necessarily contact each other during initial installation so as to prevent damage to the individual electronic displays.
- the elongated attachment slots also enable horizontal adjustment of the electronic displays to compensate for tolerance buildups so as to ensure the displays can be slid together tightly in the horizontal (lateral) direction during final installation.
- a pusher mechanism can be included that will push against the display fasteners during installation so as to enable the electronic display devices to be pushed tightly together and inhibit unauthorized removal.
- slots can placed at key-points on the mount to enable a tape measure to be used during installation, thereby easing measurements during installation.
- a system for mounting multiple electronic display devices to a wall of a structure includes a first pair of spaced-apart brackets, each bracket presenting a front flange defining a plurality of slots, each slot adapted to receive a fastener coupled to an electronic display so as to attach the electronic display to the bracket, and a plurality of mounting feet operably coupled to each of the spaced-apart brackets, each of the mounting feet adapted to attach to the wall and defining a slot enabling the mounting foot to shift parallel to a plane of the wall, each of the plurality of mounting feet being separately shiftable relative to the spaced-apart brackets so as to enable the bracket to be selectively adjusted for position in a direction perpendicular to the wall.
- each of the plurality of mounting feet is shiftable relative to the spaced-apart brackets with an adjustment screw assembly.
- the slots defined in each mounting foot can be teardrop shaped, and the slots defined in the spaced-apart brackets can be teardrop shaped.
- the system can further include a second pair of spaced-apart brackets, each of the second pair of brackets presenting a front flange defining a plurality of slots, each slot adapted to receive a fastener coupled to an electronic display so as to attach the electronic display to the second pair of spaced-apart brackets and a plurality of mounting feet operably coupled to each of the second pair of spaced-apart brackets, each of the mounting feet adapted to attach to the wall and defining a slot enabling the mounting foot to shift parallel to a plane of the wall, each of the plurality of mounting feet being separately shiftable relative to the spaced-apart brackets so as to enable the bracket to be selectively adjusted for position in a direction perpendicular to the wall, the second pair of spaced-apart apart brackets operably coupled to the first pair of spaced-apart brackets in a horizontally or vertically adjacent relation.
- the first or the second pair of spaced-apart brackets can receive one, two, three, or four electronic displays, and can be coupled together vertically or horizontally to form arrays of electronic displays of various shapes.

Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to mounting systems for televisions and monitors, and in particular to mounting systems for an array of televisions and monitors.
- It is increasingly common in public spaces to mount LED, LCD or other flat panel display type televisions or monitors (electronic display devices) to form an overall display that can be easily changed for the purpose of presenting information, advertising, or entertainment. Often, several of these devices are mounted adjacent to form an overall display larger than can be done with a single electronic display.
- Prior mounting solutions for multiple electronic displays present certain drawbacks. For example, such mounts can be difficult and cumbersome to assemble. These mounts sometimes do not offer adjustibilty to account for external factors such as walls that are not entirely flat, leading to an unattractive installation. Also, the mounts are not easily scalable, so that different models must be offered depending on the size of the array of electronic displays desired.
- What is still needed in the industry is a mounting system for multiple electronic displays that overcomes these drawbacks.
- The present invention provides a mounting solution for arrays of electronic display devices that addresses the drawbacks of prior mounts. According to embodiments of the invention, scalably sized modular mounting frames can be easily assembled and linked together to form a mounting system that can accommodate multiple vertically and horizontally adjacent electronic displays. The system can have adjustable mounting legs enabling correction for walls, to which the system will be mounted, that are not entirely flat and also enabling positioning of the overall system within a range of adjustment closer or further away from the wall.
- The modular configuration of the mounting system can provide for vertical attachment of multiple electronic displays to a single module, and for vertical and horizontal attachment of multiple modules. The disclosed modular system enables multiple displays to be mounted in a virtually unlimited number of shapes as well as the standard square and rectangular arrays.
- Elongated attachment slots enable an electronic display to be moved laterally while adjacent electronic displays are being installed so that the electronic displays do not necessarily contact each other during initial installation so as to prevent damage to the individual electronic displays. The elongated attachment slots also enable horizontal adjustment of the electronic displays to compensate for tolerance buildups so as to ensure the displays can be slid together tightly in the horizontal (lateral) direction during final installation.
- In some embodiments, a pusher mechanism can be included that will push against the display fasteners during installation so as to enable the electronic display devices to be pushed tightly together and inhibit unauthorized removal. In some embodiments, slots can placed at key-points on the mount to enable a tape measure to be used during installation, thereby easing measurements during installation.
